The Victoria County Commissioners Court authorized closing of a 20‑acre tract purchase intended for a Victoria County Regional Emergency Response complex and approved wiring the purchase funds to finalize the sale.
Michelle, county staff handling settlement, reported the cash‑to‑close on the settlement statement as "$393,605.25." The court voted to authorize the county treasurer or appropriate official to wire that amount to the title company so the county could complete acquisition of the Buehler Telfner Family Partnership tract adjacent to a 10‑acre tract where a county mental health hospital is under construction.
John, county staff, told commissioners the transaction had been long discussed and negotiated and that the purchase will allow the county to site its planned regional emergency facility near existing public health investments. John also reported that a phase‑1 environmental review discovered an old monitoring well on the property; the county will test the well and, if results are acceptable, arrange to plug and abandon it.
Commission action: following a motion and second, the court approved receipt of the fully executed closing documents and authorized the wire; the motion carried with the court voting "Aye" and no recorded opposition.
No details on future construction timelines or funding for facility construction were finalized during the meeting; commissioners said the land acquisition clears an important step in long‑term planning for emergency response infrastructure.
